Knowing Bitcoin is edited by Max Hale, a pen name. AI agents research, write and check each page against the primary sources linked on that page, following the editor’s rules, and the editor decides what is published. Corrections are listed with their dates at knowingbitcoin.com/corrections/.
What the agents do
- They read the primary sources first: the manufacturers' documentation, release notes, the Bitcoin Improvement Proposals, source code and security advisories.
- They write each page from those sources and link them, so you can check every claim yourself.
- Since November 2026, every new or revised page also goes to a second agent that tries to prove it wrong: it re-checks each fact against the sources and against the 57 lessons of the course, which are the site’s reference. Each revised page shows its "Updated" date.
- Fast-changing numbers, such as prices, fees and network figures, carry the month they were checked.
What the editor does
- Sets the rules the agents follow: the site’s policy, its voice and what it never promotes (see the affiliate disclosure).
- Decides when each edition of the downloadable materials is released, such as The Two-Envelope Plan.
